Product Information
Full details
Designed for professional artists and serious hobbyists, the Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour range provides exceptional color strength and unmatched transparency through the use of high-concentration, single-pigment formulas. While these paints offer professional-grade permanence and brilliance, they require a higher level of investment and careful color selection due to the nuances of their wide 107-color palette.

FAQs
Are these paints suitable for beginners?
While high quality, they are professional-grade and may be challenging to handle for someone just learning color theory.
What does an AA lightfastness rating mean?
AA indicates the paint is extremely permanent and will not fade significantly under normal display conditions.
Can these be mixed with other brands?
Yes, they are generally compatible with other professional watercolor brands, though performance may vary.
How do I ensure the color on screen matches the paint?
Screen technology varies; it is best to refer to a physical Winsor & Newton color chart to see accurate pigment representations.
Are the paints vegan?
Some pigments or binders in professional watercolors may contain animal-derived ingredients; please check specific pigment documentation if this is a concern.
Troubleshooting
Colors appear muddy when mixed
Check if you are mixing too many different pigments; try using the single-pigment shades for cleaner results.
Paint is difficult to re-wet
Ensure you are using fresh water and consider using a drop of ox gall or a similar wetting agent if the paint has dried extensively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your paints, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When using these paints, ensure your palette is clean to prevent cross-contamination of pigments. These professional-grade tubes are compatible with all standard watercolor surfaces, including cold-press, hot-press, and rough-texture watercolor papers. For brush care, always rinse your brushes thoroughly with clean water after use and reshape them while damp. Because these are highly pigmented, avoid over-diluting if you want to maintain the intended color depth and transparency.
